The only thing these three bands have in common is that they play rock music and they're from the UK.
Oasis makes raw, working-class rock. 3 chords and gigantic sing-a-long melodies. Cold-play goes for the "dumbed down meaning of life in 5 minutes on every song", which is great, taken in pieces here and there. While Radiohead is something different entirely. If Radiohead had remade the Bends 5 times, perhaps they'd be comparable to Oasis, but You can't listen to OK Computer and compare them to Oasis. Saying that, Oasis is my favorite band of all-time. I have on an Oasis T-Shirt right this second. I have over 250 Oasis songs. But Radiohead just isn't similar to them.
